Sunday 6th April. One day b4 Oreintation
Tomorrow is the first day of oreintation at SP. I haven really decided what i'm gonna wear tml. Plus i nidda bring extra clothes cux there r water games. This means i needa tink twice as hard .. namely think about what to bring and what to wear. I stare at my wardrobe and i still can't decide so i have decided to put it off till 7pm b4 deciding. Through SAS i know mi class is DAC01 . Hopes it'll be a nice class.
Aniways, my head hurts now. It has been hurting since like 2 days ago. T_T.
Realli hopes it gets better tml^^.
Aniway today i read a book tittled manage your mind. I borrowed it from the library and i thought it was a really nice book.
Basically it talks about how to maintain mental well being. In its first chapter it tells us to value ourselves independently of your achievements. People tend to value themselves according to their achievements. But some people with very low self esteem,may feel that if people praise them, its because people's expectations are lower and not because they are deserving of praise. This is actually not a good thing because the person will have grave self doubts and this is not good to mental well being at all.
The books has many chapters and if i feel like it i will discuss it in future posts.^^
Actually in my point of view, people are always knowingly or unknowingly feeling self doubt.( to varying degrees) Even for people who are arrogant. Deep insdie they have a greater , more incomprehensionable sense of self doubt.
Self doubt is being unfair to yourself. it sucks out your strength and lowers the quality of your life. It is valuing other people's values and opinions more than yours and more than you should.
A miserable person may perform well if they are equipped with the skills to excel in their choosen fields. However they will constantly feel stressed and discontentment.
Self doubt may also stem from double standards. This means you set 2 different standards for yourself and for others. And you set a much higher standard for yourself compared to the standards you set for others. This is not a very good thing to do as it makes one feel even more useless and it underrates and buries your true worth.
In my opinion, it is ok to have higher expectations of oneself to push yourself to the limit you think you can endure.. If you should fail to reach that higher expectation, you should credit yourself with trying and facing the challange, and not berate yourself.
^^ in any case, rmb to feel good about yourself dear readers. Tommorow will be a better day if you let it be^^.
Ok BB. long post. hands also tired le. Brain dead n head still pain. dots. HAHA. until then. lalala
